Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Never Forget Each Other Through Lifetimes, Break the Cocoon and Butterfly Transformation Forever Together (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
The scenery in the coffee shop is distinctive.
In front of the windowsill, Lu Xuanji sips his coffee, speaking frivolous sweet nothings.
These sweet nothings neither amuse nor elate, yet the girl opposite listens, a faint smile at the corners of her eyes.
It seems she cares, yet also seems indifferent.
"Will you be my girlfriend, okay?"
"Okay!"
The girl opposite agrees readily.
Lu Xuanji feels slightly dazed.
Could it be she wants to toy with his feelings!
Who cares?
If a girl wants to toy with his feelings, then let her play to her heart’s content!
After all, in the end, he won’t lose out.
Leaving in a daze like this, the first time meeting a netizen, and he already secured a girlfriend, it feels like a dream.
Patting his face, it aches slightly.
This is not a dream!
And so, the romance began!
After the initial contact, they started chatting on the phone, watching movies, inviting each other to dinner. The whole process seemed very mundane, without any extra twists and turns, like a daily routine story that could be drawn out into hundreds of Chapters, causing many readers to doze off.
After three months, the two moved closer together, kissing each other.
This time, he was the one who took the initiative.
In the cinema, in a dark environment, he summoned the courage to act.
Before the kiss, he was prepared to be pushed away and was ready for a slap or even a punch.
But nothing happened.
At the moment of the kiss, there was a faint mint flavor, a fresh taste, endlessly memorable.
immersed in it, they separated after roughly five seconds.
The girl’s face was flushed, seeming very shy.
Feelings ferment, love warms up,
About a month later, they got married.
From meeting to marriage, it took less than three months.
It had a flavor of a flash marriage.
With just a moment of hesitation, they were married.
After marriage, they began a sweet life, obsessed with each other as if losing track of themselves, seemingly entangled, unable to extricate.
A year after their marriage, the wife gave birth to a pair of twins, two sons.
"Wan’Er, what shall we name them?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
Ye Wanyi pondered, "The elder one is named Ye Immortal, the younger one is Ye Fan!"
"Great!" Lu Xuanji nodded.
Ye Wanyi said, "The country is recently advocating for a third child policy, why not have a third?"
"That’s not a great idea, having so many children isn’t good for your health!" Lu Xuanji calmly said, "I’ve read some reports, having many children harms a woman’s body. Besides, two sons are enough; we can’t afford a third one. This isn’t the same as decades ago."
The times have changed, and life is different now.
In the eighties and nineties, the living standard was lower, but the cost to raise children was less. Raising three or four children in the village didn’t cost much either.
But now, raising one child costs a fortune, raising two children is life-threatening, and three children is unaffordable.
High home prices, high living costs, high consumption, etc., each higher than the last, each requiring steep expenses, with limited growth in income and fewer industries to make money.
"Don’t worry, I still have some savings!"
Ye Wanyi said calmly.
Lu Xuanji remained silent, everything has been well since they got married.
The only downside is that his wife is too capable, making him feel like he’s living off her.
This wife was a top student growing up, excelling in school, and later entered a prestigious university.
After graduating, she started her own business with a few classmates.
Entrepreneurship, by nature, carries great risks; out of one hundred startups, ninety-nine fail, with only one succeeding.
Luckily, the company started by his wife is the survivor... not just a survivor but is constantly developing well. In just under two years, it reached a market valuation of three hundred million.
Then, a certain internet giant targeted it as an acquisition target.
Finally, his wife decisively accepted the internet giant’s acquisition.
Through selling shares and exchanging shares, they obtained about twenty million in cash and eighty million in stocks.
Shortly after, they had a flash marriage.
It wasn’t until after marriage that he found out his wife was so wealthy.
Of course, such wealth pales in comparison to some top-level tycoons, even many small-scale rich people, but at least they are living a middle-class life.
As long as they don’t spend excessively, they can live a high-quality life.
"Alright, whatever you say!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
...
The life after marriage was calm and dull, without any grandstanding, no evil doers, no third party challenges, and no extramarital affairs.
Life was as calm as peace.
The two kids gradually grew up and started attending kindergarten.
The wife started a new company, continuously expanding its scale, with competitors constantly falling.
In just five years, it surpassed some companies and entered the world’s top 500.
A commercial giant began to rise, shocking the business world.
But all this has nothing to do with him.
At first, Lu Xuanji found it a bit uncomfortable. But gradually, he got used to it, so what if he lived off his wife? Why strive when lying flat is so comfortable?
Then, in the sixth year, Ye Wanyi was vomiting again, she was pregnant again.
After ten months, a daughter was born.
Looking at the little darling at home, Lu Xuanji was filled with joy, indescribably happy.
"Wanyi, why did you choose me?"
Lu Xuanji asked again.
"Don’t you remember?" Ye Wanyi asked.
"Could it be that I met you in college!" Lu Xuanji asked, "But we didn’t seem to be in the same university!"
Ye Wanyi smiled, "Unmentionable!"
Lu Xuanji smiled too, not asking further questions.
After having a young daughter, even the company’s affairs began to be handed over to other partners.
At thirty-six, Ye Wanyi retired early.
Then, she opened up an estate in the mountains, leading a serene life.
Ye Wanyi personally drove a tractor, harvested corn, sprayed pesticides, tended the farmed crops, living the life of a farmer.
...
As time flies, unknowingly, decades pass by in the blink of an eye.
The once young lad gradually ages.
The once beautiful woman now has gray hair.
On this day, Lu Xuanji fell ill, on the brink of death, even with all the money and the best medical skills, it was hard to save his life.
"Wan’Er, I’m leaving!"
"Husband..."
Ye Wanyi said.
"I have a question. At our first date, why did you choose me? You graduated from a prestigious university, while I came from a regular family; you made millions just a few years after graduating; whereas I earn just over five thousand a month, just a bottom-level person."
"In all aspects, I am not worthy of you... but why did you choose me over so many people?"
Lu Xuanji asked, baffled.
At first, there were countless questions.
But gradually, those questions were forgotten.
Only at the moment of dying, did the memory return.
"Husband, in our past lives we were husband and wife, and in this life we are still husband and wife!" Ye Wanyi said with tears, "There is a kind of love, called [eternal love that never forgets, even surviving through reincarnation to be reunited always as butterflies]. We were husband and wife in past lives, and we are still husband and wife in this life, even after undergoing reincarnation, becoming strangers, in a crowd of thousands, I could still find your trace!"
"Upon arriving in this world, I searched for twenty-five years before finally finding you!"
